Seriously.
We're bitching, we hate it, for good reason. ( most of us anyway)
We don't drink the kool-aide and we see the truth. ( most of us anyway)
BUT .....
It's here.
It's not going away.
It's probably gonna prevail.
GROUND FLOOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!
Some of the geniuses here (I really mean that .... not being sarcastic) need to get together and figure out how to flood charge one these cars roadside.
The tech needs to fit in the back of a truck or van.
It's got to be "Roadside Assistance" grade work.
30 min to an hour of charge is all the"Roadside Assistance" gets them. Just like gas ( 5 gallons ).
Enough to get to the next charge station.
Which WE also build and maintain and charge "nominal" fee to use.

So in a few years, we all can buy and play around with the hotrod classic dino-burners we want.

BTW- This is my idea ... so if any one of you do it, (you're all welcome to) I only want 15%.
 
Big corps are way ahead of you. Talked with an engineering guy yesterday about the ways they are planning to rape the consumers even more with the magic clean power

That was on Shark Tank a few years ago already

Just invest in mineral mine stock now. Theyve made public the prevailnig battery formula. Youre gunna see the prices sky rocket as more and more batteries are made.

Don't sleep on Cobalt its gonna be hot.
 
The idea was really just and of the cuff thought.
But since everyone seems to be EV experts and ready to tell me I'm wrong or behind, I went looking.
None of the present offering can do what I spelled out.( as near as I can tell in an exhaustive 10 min Google session )
The generator would be laughable slow and have you watching life pass you by for a very long time.
AAA ..... 10 miles, or maybe 30 min. depending on how you drive. ( similar services, similar results)
Everyone else just tows you to a regular charging station, or home, or their shop.
With small cell Li-On stuff ..... quick charge is at least 50% in 10-15 minutes.
There needs to be a way to get 30-50 miles in a reasonable amount of time roadside.
They haven't gotten to far in that decade.

But I may be wrong.
 
I wouldn't switch to electric if someone held me at gun point. If mines not big enough, the feds will bring me one that is.
All it's gonna take is real leadership back in office.

‘Offering’ vs ‘Development’ are two different things. But googling ‘roadside rapid charging’ yielded me this as the first result…a mile/minute seems to be approaching what you’re proposing (no idea how this program actually went, the article is 2 years old). If the tech is valid and there’s demand, it always improves.

SparkCharge mobile charging will get tested by roadside assistance in SF and LA

As part of a pilot program, a leading roadside assistance company will be rescuing EVs with mobile-charging tech from SparkCharge.

Missed that.
Maybe I should went to 12 minutes!
:laughing:
:laughing:

But it would still take 30 minutes to get 30 miles .... I'm thinking that time needs to be halved.
Actually close to 10 minutes.
Li-on has really been around a loooong time. Heck I have a handheld ham radio I only charge twice a year!
You wait 1.5 hrs for Roadside to show up then another half hour to get a decent charge.
In this day and age of Karen's they value their time above anything ...... even your life.
I can dump enough gas out of a 5 gallon can in 30 minutes to run our car a month!

If it really is a big problem, they need to design the cars similar to a atv/dirt bike, where the tank has a reserve capacity. Maybe 50mi worth. If the battery goes dead, it finds the closest charging station, and uses the reserve.

But, if the grid truly gets to where it needs to be, to support EVs, a fueling station will not be that far away.

But how many times did you flip your bike to reserve and keep riding, and run it out...

It'll be like the low fuel light and the people that say oh I know I can go another 40 miles once the light comes on.

I cant say that has happened to me, but I dont disagree with you. I guess my point was, if the grid catches up, like it seems it will have to, I dont know that it is much more of an issue that running out of gas today. Other than the time you will wait to "refill" on the side of the road.

Here's the rub

How many Duke Power engineers do you know? (not a flex..a genuine question)

People don't realize how very fragile the ENTIRE grid is right NOW...and what steps we have to take to make it reliable for the load we had 15 years AGO...much less what we fittin to unleash on it in the next 5 years.

I just hope y'll either invest in some home genny's or like more-than-occasional brown outs

Bingo!
 
Modular battery packs are the solution. Instead of 1 giant battery, have a dozen small, easily swappable batteries and ISO standard conenctors so all cars are the same. Kind of like a propane jug exchange, except for car batteries. Pull in to the station, swap 12 batteries in 2 minutes, go 500 miles. Bring back full service for the feeble.

Oh yeah!
We have no more business having electric cars being anything more than a novelty than Biden does being a baby-sniffer .... er sitter!

I don't know engineers, but I know several linemen ..... they make hella money because they hella busy!

The ones I know are sweating bullets with every new service. They remind me of investment brokers in the 80's: one foot on the 80story window seal about to take a leap
